About the volunteering opportunity

We are looking for volunteers for an inclusive team of reporters in the "Office for Easy Language" of Lebenshilfe Berlin. The committed are invited reporter*innen with learning difficulties or cognitive impairment to events to accompany, about which they want to write later, film or make a podcast.

We wish to hear from interested persons fun and interest in journalistic work. Previous knowledge would enrich us, but is not necessary. It would be nice if in the long term a joint inclusive cooperation would arise, so that a joint contribution of reporter with impairment and the companion would arise. We give all participants room for their own creativity and ideas.

A stability of the accompaniment for at least a year is desirable.

Your Tasks

  • Help with writing and creating texts, films and reports
  • Accompany to events
  • Participate
  • Input your own ideas

What's needed

Volunteers must be native German speakers.

Open-mindedness for inclusion and diversity in living together in our society.

Time required

Regularly
Approx. 2 hours per week.
On weekdays, on weekends, at night

The reporter team meets once a week online. This takes place on Thursdays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

In addition, individual appointments can be made, e.g. accompaniment to events.

Important notice

In the facilities and services of Lebenshilfe Berlin, the facility-based vaccination obligation exists from 16.3.2022.

Lebenshilfe gGmbH

Inclusion - living self-determined Lebenshilfe wants a society in which all people are welcome and belong in all areas of life from the very beginning. Young and old, people with different abilities, regardless of origin. All people have the same rights. They want to be able to live self-determined according to their own ideas.

People with impairments should get exactly the support they need. This is what the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities assures them. Cooperate. Co-determination. Shaping. People with disabilities, their relatives, full-time employees and volunteers shape Lebenshilfe Berlin.
